sctp_make_abort_user() now takes the msg_len along with the msg
so that we don't have to recalculate the bytes in iovec.
It also uses memcpy_fromiovec() so that we don't go beyond the
length allocated.

It is good to have this fix even if verify_iovec() is fixed to
return error on overflow.

Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second
us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue
length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue
lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected
branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on
Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is
large enough to cause p-&gt;Stab to have zero index, which always
results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result
in zero shift).

<title>[AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patch</title>

<content type='text'>
From: Catherine Zhang &lt;cxzhang@watson.ibm.com&gt;

This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the
original unix datagram getpeersec patch.  Instead of creating a
security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the
security context when the receiver requests it.

This new design requires modification of the current
unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely,
secid_to_secctx and release_secctx.  The former retrieves the security
context and the latter releases it.  A hook is required for releasing
the security context because it is up to the security module to decide
how that's done.  In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree
operation.

This patch uses notifier blocks to implement a network event
notifier mechanism.

Clients register their callback function by calling
register_netevent_notifier() like this:

static struct notifier_block nb = {
        .notifier_call = my_callback_func
};

...

register_netevent_notifier(&amp;nb);

<title>[TCP]: SNMPv2 tcpAttemptFails counter error</title>

<id>3687b1dc6fe83a500ba4d3235704594f6a111a2d</id>
<content type='text'>
Refer to RFC2012, tcpAttemptFails is defined as following:
  tcpAttemptFails OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
              "The number of times TCP connections have made a direct
              transition to the CLOSED state from either the SYN-SENT
              state or the SYN-RCVD state, plus the number of times TCP
              connections have made a direct transition to the LISTEN
              state from the SYN-RCVD state."
      ::= { tcp 7 }

When I lookup into RFC793, I found that the state change should occured
under following condition:
  1. SYN-SENT -&gt; CLOSED
     a) Received ACK,RST segment when SYN-SENT state.

  2. SYN-RCVD -&gt; CLOSED
     b) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
     c) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
     d) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).

  3. SYN-RCVD -&gt; LISTEN
     e) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).

In my test, those direct state transition can not be counted to
tcpAttemptFails.

<title>[IPV6]: Audit all ip6_dst_lookup/ip6_dst_store calls</title>

<content type='text'>
The current users of ip6_dst_lookup can be divided into two classes:

1) The caller holds no locks and is in user-context (UDP).
2) The caller does not want to lookup the dst cache at all.

The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do
the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup.  This patch
adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class.

Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to
take the socket dst lock and those that don't.  This patch adds
__ip6_dst_store for those (everyone except UDP/datagram) that don't
need an extra lock.

In PSCHED_TADD and PSCHED_TADD2, if delta is less than tv.tv_usec (so,
less than USEC_PER_SEC too) then tv_res will be smaller than tv. The
affectation "(tv_res).tv_usec = __delta;" is wrong.  The fix is to
revert to the original code before
4ee303dfeac6451b402e3d8512723d3a0f861857 and change the 'if' in
'while'.
